Recent office actions involve more than just protection. They tend to

shown tracing admins who are leaking information is tricky.
Can't we look in the server logs to see who's looked at, for example,
[[Special:Undelete/Wikitruth.info]] (due to [[Image:Restore Wikitruth
info.png]])? From what I've read at [[m:Privacy policy#Security of
information]], such logs do exist and could at least narrow down the
possible suspects.
It would narrow it down a bit, but not all that much, because no doubt
a bunch of admins have looked- from curiosity, if nothing else.
However, combined with the popups evidence, it might narrow it down
from 800 to around maybe only 20.
We shouldn't examine that data, however. Very bad precedent, and poor
for privacy, especially since we aren't dealing with out-and-out
vandals here, but merely critics.
